H.R. 139

SHOW UP Act

Passed  |  221-206
My Vote  |  YES

This bill requires each executive agency to reinstate the telework policies that were in place on December 31, 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This would help make government employees at the IRS, Social Security Administration, and other federal agencies return to the office and get to work addressing the massive bureaucratic delays and backlogs they’ve let pile up while teleworking during the pandemic.

H.Res.76

Removal of Rep. Ilhan Omar from House Foreign Affairs Committee

Passed  |  218-211
My Vote  |  YES

This resolution prohibits Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-05) from serving on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. I voted in favor of this measure because I have concerns over her ability to serve on the House Foreign Affairs Committee following her comments echoing long-standing anti-Semitic tropes about Jews obtaining influence through money. Rep. Omar will be able to serve on other House committees which she is appointed to.
